Washington's Jones for Gerald Ford
The very discreet charms (and substantial drawbacks) of Richard Nixon's successor.
During the 25 years that I've lived in Washington, I have never once heard a negative word spoken here about former President Gerald Ford, who died at 93 on Dec. 26. Within the narrow confines of Permanent Washington—the journalists, lobbyists, and congressional lifers who are the city's avatars of centrism and continuity—Ford is considered the beau idéal of American leadership. "By the time he finished his short tenure, he had put together one of the most talented administrations, at least of those that I've covered in fifty years here," the Washington Post's David Broder recalled after Ford's death. "People who served in the Ford administration will tell you even now, the survivors of that administration, that it was the best experience they ever had in government."
Washington's Gerald Ford cult differs from, say, its John F. Kennedy cult or its Ronald Reagan cult in that no branches can be found outside the nation's capital. It is possible to say, "America loves JFK," or "America loves Reagan," but no one in his right mind would ever say, "America loves Ford." (If attempted, the statement would surely be mistaken for an advertising slogan touting the Dearborn, Mich.-based auto manufacturer.) America has not given Gerald Ford a lot of thought. To the extent it has, it's pegged Ford as a dimwitted klutz who, though certainly decent enough, extended unwarranted favoritism to his fellow Republican Richard Nixon by granting the former president a blanket pardon. The latter gesture probably cost Ford the 1976 election.
The American electorate got Ford more right than the Washington mandarins. Permanent Washington believes the Nixon pardon was an act of martyrdom, a necessary gesture allowing the country to move on—even Bob Woodward thinks so—but, in fact, the American system of government was sturdy enough to withstand any prosecution of Richard Nixon. (I have my doubts there would have been any.) Ford would have done far better, both politically and in serving justice, to leave well enough alone. The mandarins are right to say that Gerald Ford was certainly smarter than the caricature invented by Lyndon Johnson ("can't fart and chew gum at the same time," with "fart" subsequently softened to "walk") and later refined by Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live, but he was no genius, particularly in the realm of foreign policy. Because of Ford's weakness in this area, the White House became a free-fire zone between the pro-détente Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and the anti-détente tag team of Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, Ford's successive chiefs of staff. (Maybe veterans of the Ford administration think it "the best experience they ever had in government" because they experienced little supervision from the boss.) Rumsfeld/Cheney ultimately prevailed (as later they would under President George W. Bush), but the experience left Ford sufficiently addled that when, in a 1976 presidential debate with Jimmy Carter, he got asked about the 1975 Helsinki accords—which contained vague, mollifying language recognizing Soviet domination of Eastern Europe—Ford babbled, "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration." Max Frankel of the New York Times, who'd posed the question, responded incredulously * ("Did I understand you to say, sir … "), prompting a second nonsensical gusher from Ford:
I don't believe … the Yugoslavians consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. I don't believe that the Rumanians consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. I don't believe that the Poles consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. Each of those countries is independent, autonomous: it has its own territorial integrity …
In retrospect, Ford surely meant to deny not the fact of Soviet domination in Eastern Europe, but merely U.S. acquiescence in that domination. Finding the right way to say so required Ford to reconcile two successive and fundamentally irreconcilable foreign-policy stances. Ford resolved this tension by spouting palpable untruths guaranteed to offend the pro-détente camp, the anti-détente camp, and just about everyone else except the Politburo. These comments about Eastern Europe remain, I believe, the single dumbest thing ever said by a sitting president during my lifetime, heavy competition from the present incumbent notwithstanding.
Ford also had his good points, and these deserve to be noted. Although Ford's Whip Inflation Now program, remembered today chiefly for producing ridiculous little buttons that said "WIN," was treated as a joke, Joseph Nocera points out in his book A Piece of the Action that under Ford, inflation dropped from double digits down to below 5 percent. Unfortunately, during the same period, unemployment rose to 8 percent, which hurt Ford in the 1976 election. That nonetheless compares favorably with the economy under Ford's successor, Jimmy Carter. By October 1980, Ronald Reagan could point out that the "misery index" (unemployment plus inflation) had risen under President Carter from less than 13 to over than 20. The American Prospect's Harold Myerson recently pointed out that when Ford's nemesis William O. Douglas stepped down from the bench in 1975 (Ford, while serving as House minority leader, had led an idiotic impeachment drive against Douglas based partly on Douglas' allowing something he'd written to appear in the racy Evergreen Review), Gerald Ford appointed to the Supreme Court John Paul Stevens, who has since become a crucial bulwark against an increasingly ideological conservative majority.
Ford was not an ideologue, and during his presidency the country was not ideological. We remember those years as tumultuous, and they were—it was the Watergate scandal that made Ford president in the first place, and it was during Ford's presidency that the Vietnam War came to its ignominious end. But Bill Bishop of the Austin American-Statesman did some number-crunching a couple of years ago, and concluded that geographic self-segregation at the county level by party affiliation reached its nadir in 1975, when Gerald Ford was president. Conservatives and liberals lived in closer proximity than before or since, and that minimized partisan enmity in both the country and in Washington. As I wrote at the time:
The 1970s, which most of us remember as an era of high inflation, long gas lines, and malaise, were, in short, the Golden Age of Bipartisanship. Gerald Ford, the most boring man in modern memory to occupy the Oval Office, was its high priest.
That is why Washington loves Gerald Ford. Comity and bipartisanship are easy to overrate, and Permanent Washington can always be counted on to overrate them. At the moment, though, it does seem we could use a bit more.
Correction, Dec. 28, 2006: An earlier version of this column mistakenly said it was Jimmy Carter who responded, "Did I understand you to say, sir. ..." (Return to the corrected sentence.)

While he's not Am anymore, being Pro has it's benefits of getting colorways too. DC Lynx in a Cyril Colorway –
While giving ams colorways isn't the newest movement in skateboarding, it's certainly starting to gain momentum in skate footwear more than ever. There's no doubt that ams are just as deserving of their own colorways, so as a way to dissuade you from saying "Where's ______'s pro model? He's ripping better than the pros!" , you can simply get their custom colorway shoe instead. On top of that, this is the best way to support ams that you're genuinely psyched on, and that counts for more than you think. If they also happen to have a great looking colorway, even better.
TFunk's colorway, next to you standard black and white colorway. Out now.
DC Trase T-Funk Colorway – We normally don't condone skateboarding nicknames, as they tend to have some sort of stigma or bad luck to those who host them (think about it), but T-Funk is pretty good. Along with a good name, apparently one of skateboarding's younger prodigies has a good eye when it comes to picking out colors fortheir signature colorway model. The Trase is a pretty blank canvas, with little to no room for adding layers or any additional lines or colors- making it all that harder to paint. T-Funk came correct with this white/green combo. The gold eyelets set it off instead of tying the green accents inand potentially overwhelming the shoe's aesthetic. To add to this great colorway, it's $60 and has DC's durable super suede all throughout the upper. Purple Kush sockliner on the inside too. We see where this is going…DC Trase T-Funk Colorway –
Jordan's Quincy insole design, along with additional details .
NB# Quincy 254 Jordan Taylor Colorway – With our reasoning in the intro in mind, the idea of supporting your favorite am isn't that farfetched, especially if that favorite am of yours is Jordan Taylor. As one of skateboarding's favorites, this release of the Quincy 254 in his selected colorway is the best way to support him. The $80 price tag may seem a bit steep, but that's until you take into consideration the heavy duty pig suede that completely takes over this grey/pink upper combo. As with other ams mentioned in this article, it would appear that the younger guys have a much more tasteful/risky approach when it comes to selecting colorways. It's been a while since we've seen pink on a skate shoe and no lie, we'reimmediately excited by it.
Subversion/Subversión is a transnational feminist art magazine. Launched in 2013, the magazine promotes international feminist exchange. It is a collective publication, with all sources in both English and Spanish – as many current feminist magazines/resources on the internet remain anglophone. Additionally, although the English/Spanish bilingual criteria is mandatory for all articles published on the site, many contributions have been written in/translated into a number of other languages.http://subversionsubversion.com/submitcontribuye/
The ultimate vision of the magazine is the realization of abstract rights and equalities into concrete opportunities through a transformation of our societies' constructions of gender, race, and class. For the creators of Subversion/Subversión, discussion and exchange are essential to this transformation, and the medium of this conversation is art. By both creating expressions of ourselves and our realities, and by viewing the art created in the world through a transnational feminist lens, the magazine promotes this necessary global feminist dialogue and critique.
Although submissions are welcomed from across the globe, the magazine's main team comprises ten individuals. Laura De Vos (an activist, writer and student from Belgium) founded the magazine and, alongside the site's Art Director, Canadian Sarah Olson, administrates Subversion/Subversión. Other members include Andrea Rodas – from
, the site's translator -, Zully Morales – from Guatemala, director of Social Media and Graphics -, Jurek González – from Guatemala, Webmaster -, Juli Estrada and Kndela RG – from
Goossens Paris Womens Baroque Pearl amp; Garnet Ring IQcuZTM
and Joanna Laura Constantine Tribal Statement Choker Necklace in GoldPlated Brass with Lapis Lazuli and Malachite 7Ml8DVlA
respectively, both Senior Contributors – and Nick Jonges, Lisa Leysen and Agueda Zarate – from the the Netherlands and the United States of America respectively, all three Contributors.

- 1 - 2 spool Gresen Valve, old used valve from a loader on a tractor cost=75$
1 - 1x24†double acting piston (too long but I had it in the garage, so I used it)
1 - Bypass block off of eBay cost=25$
When I bought my bypass block, I started asking some friends about a valve, one of my friends had a 2 spool valve, with all of the hoses that he wasn't' sure ifn he wanted to sell, in the end I bought it for 75 bucks. After I got some time off of school to build everything, I started laying out my plans.
Since I had such a long piston, and I wasn't really looking into buying one, I decided to mount the rear of my piston to where the axle pivot rod ["pin" (part no. 650132 R1)] that holds the square lifting arms (brackets welded assembly) {part no. 651270 R91} and I substituted a 1x15+/-†galvanized bolt (that I also had laying around) for the pin.
Then I took my blade and lifted it off of the floor so I could angle it by hand without any problems. I then decided the best place for the piston, which I figured out by cutting some threads off of a very large and long bolt, and that would be my "pin†to hold the piston down.
Then I took a square piece of 3/8†steel and welded it to the triangle part of the blade, which I knew would be strong.
Then I welded my "pin†the piece of bolt to the plate
One problem I had was that my piston was way too long, but since I had it on hand, I didn't need to buy another one, I just have to watch how far angled my plow goes.
After I got the piston mount figured out, I started to assemble my bypass block. I did have a problem with my type of block that I didn't' have clearance to mount a regular hydraulic fitting, but I don't remember exactly why, so I used a water pipe fitting, which has held up with absolutely no problems after a year. Before I assembled everything, I looked at the drawing on the plans that I received with my block, and I figured out that I needed these:
And this is what the block looked like after I put my fittings on:
When I bought my bypass block, it came with these directions:
They helped quite a lot actually, and it also came with a gasket, even though I had a new one because I was in the process of rebuilding my touch control also.
After I got my bypass block all mounted
I started to mount my hoses from the block to my valve.
After I was done that, I then attached the hoses from the valve to the piston
Eventually I hope to add steel lines on the frame, with shorter hoses for flex.
When all was said and done, I just had to figure out a place to mount my valve, and for that winter I just had the valve by my feet, which did get old after a while, but I didn't get any good ideas until this past summer when Nik (kinelbor) made a mount for my loader.
This is a good spot, but it does tend to get in the way of the shifter, but I it still does shift, so as long as it works, I'm fine with it.
I added quick disconnects to the hoses a few weeks ago, and I think that this will be a good idea once I put them on my loader also.
Here is a link to the rest of all my pictures of my Power Angle Blade Project.

Tomaso Giovanni AlbinoniItalian
Ironically, Tomaso Albinoni's fame rests largely on the compositional efforts of someone he could never have met. In 1945 Remo Giazotto unearthed a bassline and six bars of melody which he extrapolated into the Adagio for Strings and Organ, now to be found on any classical compilation album as Albinoni's Adagio. Not that this would have been much of a surprise to Albinoni - he had already had his work adapted by no less a composer than Johann Sebastian Bach, who took themes from Albinoni's Op. 1 Trio Sonatas as subjects for keyboard fugues.
Born in Venice to a rich family, Albinoni was able to devote his life to music at his father's expense. Previous attempts to write ecclesiastical music had not been as reverential as the church would have liked, so instead Albinoni turned to opera. Zenobia, Regina de Palmireni was performed in 1694 and was the first of over 50 known operas of his - the total number is thought to be over 80. He also enjoyed great success with further trio sonatas and concertos.
Perhaps his father did not feel his son had accumulated enough (if any) experience to take over the family business, or perhaps he was upset at his eldest boy's interest in what he saw as a waste of time; either way, Albinoni was largely written out of his father's will. What little he inherited was eventually seized by his father's creditors, but by this time Albinoni was established enough for this to minimally affect him. Like many others of his time, he furthered his career by dedicating works to nobility, who would then lend patronage, providing they could establish him as the genuine Albinoni and not the imposter touring Germany under his name!
Albinoni's detractors point to his resistance to change and innovation, his superfluous note-spinning and lack of harmonic finesse, but his gift for melody maintained his popularity, and he set standards which were followed by many. He was the first composer to use three-movement form consistently, and his use of fugues in the final movement became a characteristic feature.

This is not a rant about the Phillies and Rockies getting screwed by MLB because its first two playoff games are in the afternoon. Hopefully, it's a little more subtle than that. This isn't about big-city bias. It is about baseball's misguided view of itself.
The fact is, nobody in the country watches Division Series baseball games during the afternoon outside of the fans of the teams involved. But baseball views itself as The National Pastime, and it sees that all NFL and NBA playoff games are televised live nationally, and it won't start the season a couple of days earlier or extend it a couple of days later, so we are left with rabid fans of participating teams unable to watch the games.
It's absurd. It is a schedule designed for sportswriters and shut-ins.
In 2007, the Phillies and Rockies got the same raw deal with two days games in Philadelphia to open their series. The first one drew 3.17 million viewers nationwide, the second 3.3 million viewers. I'm not a math major but if my ciphering is even close, somewhere between one-third and one-half of the people who watched those games were from Philadelphia and Colorado. Most everyone else who watched accidentally bumped into the game while looking for a rerun of "Cash Cab."
None of the other sports inconvenience its fans like this. There is no reason why baseball couldn't do regional telecasts on weekdays in the first round of the playoffs. The standard would be simple. There would be two time slots, 6 pm and 9 pm in the East. The slot that made the most sense for the home team would be the place the game would fall.
I guarantee you that the ratings would be higher. I guarantee you that the fans of the teams involved -- the people who really care; in many cases, the only people who care -- would be thrilled.
Who would be mad? The infinitesimal number of Americans without an allegiance to a team who like to watch games in the afternoon.
Why cater to them?

John Copeland Nagle was named the John N. Matthews Professor in 2005. He joined the law faculty as an associate professor of law in 1998 and became a full professor in 2001. He was the law school's inaugural Associate Dean for Faculty Research from 2004 to 2007.
Nagle is the co-author of casebooks on "The Practice and Policy of Environmental Law, "Property Law," and "The Law of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management. His book "Law's Environment: How the Law Shapes the Places We Live," will be published by Yale University Press in 2010. His other writings have explored such topics as the relationship between environmental pollution, cultural pollution, and other kinds of "pollution;" the role of religion in environmental law; Chinese environmental law; the scope of congressional power to protect endangered species; alternative approaches to campaign finance reform; and the competing roles of Congress and the courts in correcting statutory mistakes. His articles have been published in journals such as the Yale Law Journal, the Columbia Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and the New York University Law Review.
Nagle teaches a number of courses related to environmental law, legislation, and property. In 2002, he received a Distinguished Lectureship award from the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board to teach environmental law and property law at the Tsinghua University Law School in Beijing. He received another Fulbright award to serve on the faculty of law at the University of Hong Kong in 2008. Nagle has lectured on environmental, legislation, and property issues at numerous forums in the United States, Canada, China, Hungary, and Malaysia.
Prior to joining the Notre Dame faculty, Nagle was an associate professor at the Seton Hall University School of Law from 1994 through 1998. He also worked in the United States Department of Justice, first as an attorney in the Office of Legal Counsel where he advised other executive branch agencies on a variety of constitutional and statutory issues, and later as a trial attorney conducting environmental litigation. Nagle served as a law clerk to Judge Deanell Reece Tacha of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and he was a scientific assistant in the Energy and Environmental Systems Division of Argonne National Laboratory. He is a graduate of Indiana University and the University of Michigan Law School.
Nagle has participated in numerous activities outside of the law school. He has served as a member of the executive committee of the Section on Legislation of the American Association of Law Schools, and as a vice chair on the Endangered Species Committee of the American Bar Association's environmental section. He helps organize the annual meeting of the Law Professors' Christian Fellowship. He served as an elder in the Presbyterian church and is now an elder in the South Bend Christian Reformed Church. He is the faculty adviser for the Christian Law Students, the Journal on Legislation, and Young Life.
His wife Lisa is involved in various educational activities involving China, while his two daughters Laura and Julia learned more Chinese language than Nagle did while living in Beijing.

Mariaschin wrote: "The Iranian regime—characterized by persistent human rights abuse domestically, and by unsurpassed sponsorship of doctrinally based terrorism abroad—has responded with duplicity and deception to repeated diplomatic overtures. Only sanctions that are comprehensive and deeply impactful retain the possibility of preventing a paramount danger to international peace and security."
Severe, enforceable sanctions backed by real consequences are the crucial next step in stopping Iran's development of nuclear weapons.
The letter further states: "A nuclear-armed Iran—or the acquisition by Iran of the capacity to produce and distribute nuclear weapons—would be disastrous, dramatically undermining the stability of the Middle East as a whole and likely prompting new proliferation of nuclear arms."
And the letter concludes: "The implementation of an effective solution to this urgent global challenge is a foremost responsibility of the Security Council, one that would provide for the essential long-term safety of both the Iranian people and their neighbors."

Publisher's Summary
For the first time in English, the fourth psychological thriller from No 1 bestselling Swedish crime sensation Camilla Läckberg.
A woman is found dead, apparently the victim of a tragic car crash. It's the first in a spate of seemingly inexplicable accidents in Tanumshede and marks the end of a quiet winter for detective Patrik Hedstrom and his colleagues.
At the same time a reality TV show is being shot in the town. As cameras shadow the stars' every move, relations with the locals are strained to breaking point. When a drunken party ends with a particularly unpopular contestant's murder, the cast and crew are obvious suspects. Could there be a killer in their midst?
As the country tunes in, the bodies mount up. Under the intense glare of the media spotlight, Patrik faces his toughest investigation yet…

Translation or tone?
I found this a disappointing listen though the narrator does his best. I think it was more than rather weak translation - this book is not well written - it is laboured and it shows. There is a great deal of needless padding as in painstaking description of detail that we just don't need to know and there is also a peculiar tone to ths book which often reads like a childrens book. Added to this the irritatingly New Swedish Men, plodding Patrick & his sidekick Martin, who trip over themselves to be Politically Correct this book lacked the tension essential to a really good thriller.

A fabulous listen!
I am an avid listener of Camilla Lackberg ever since listening to The Ice princess. I do think that you have to listen to the books in the order that they were written so that you can get to know the characters and also get used to Camilla's style of writing. The Gallow's Bird is certainly, in my opinion, a nail biter and a brilliant listen. It keeps you guessing until the very end as to whom comitted the crime. I thoroughly enjoyed it and also loved the reading. Emonn's accents were brilliant. I can't wait to see what is going to happen next. Hopefully The German Brat is translated soon so that we can find out.

Disappointing and slightly corny
I had never read Camilla Lackberg but since I like Nordic whodunits, I decided to give her a try. Never more. Although the plot is interesting and complex, she doesn't succeed in bringing in together. The dialogues are especially stilted and even corny. Eamonn Riley does a reasonable job of narrating, though.

What did you love best about The Gallows Bird?
The story is with flashbacks, well constructed.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The caracters are brilliants, very well written their feelings.
What about Eamonn Riley's performance did you like?
Very clear speaking.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Any additional comments?
nice book.

Tedium in book form
This is the second book I have tried by this writer. I didn't like the first one but was willing to give her a second chance. I should have known better! To call this 'crime fiction' is quite a stretch. There is 10% police story but most of the book is best described as domestic detail - chapters and chapters about the cuteness of their baby or Erika choosing her wedding dress or some other tedious information. I started fast forwarding through those bits I was getting so bored. The characters are wooden stereotypes - the humourless but oh so PC hero husband, the ridiculous boss. I suspect the narrator made it worse. His jolly, breezy tone would be more appropriate to a children's book.
All in all, a badly written, wooden book full of tedious fluff. Avoid!

I really love Camilla Lackberg novels
But this audio book is let down by two things. The first is the at best workmanlike translation by Steven T. Murray with his usual heavy handed approach to language. Many subtleties of meaning seem to get lost and there is over use of the same phrase time after time. It is almost as if it has been translated by machine but I cannot simply put it down to being translated into American English rather than British English as I have with some of his previous translations, it's just really bad this time around.
Secondly is Eamonn Riley's delivery which seems very hurried. He does not leave enough space between sections in a chapter when the narrative moves from, for example, Patrick to Erica which means you are not sure who is speaking for a while. Similarly he leaves big gaps between paragraphs dealing with the same narrator but when listening you are expecting there to be a change and again it is confusing as to which character in the story is narrating. Finally his pronunciation of some Swedish names and places is also either off or he mumbles his way through them.
The story is actually quite good but is badly let down the translation and narration. The story alone deserves 4 stars.

I have fallen in love with Swedish writers and if Camilla is a good writer I will never know. I switched off after 10 minutes of tripe reading and awful ponderous English--something must have happened in the translation. Worst book in 5 yrs of membership and bin the reader please unless its a comic book....

I've listened to two books by this author before so was really pleased when this book was available. So disappointed, too much happy families and not enough mystery/crime.
The Preacher and the Stonecutter's Daughter are much better and I would give them five stars but not this one.

Enjoyed but others are better
Again as with all Camilla Lackberg novels I really was excited to get this book and couldnt wait to read it once purchased. The narrative is ok although a bit slow on this one. I love the small details of the character lives we are given as they are quite funny in parts. I enjoy the whodunnit aspect of the story. Could not recommend this one but you may wish to read if going through the whole series.

Nothing out of the ordinary
After enjoying immensely The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the rest of the books in that trilogy, I decided to sample some more Swedish crime writers and started with this one. This seemed so ordinary and run-of-the-mill in comparison that I haven't tried any other Swedish writers since (though I probably will later). But when compared to other crime writing, excluding Stieg Larsson, this is probably quite good. Maybe I just shouldn't have read it so soon after such masterpieces of crime fiction.

I wish there was more about Patrick and Ericas relationship to make it more believable. More importantly though, the crime is great and leaves you guessing almost to the end.

Hello everybody!
I'm here to make something MaNGusT asked me some weeks before, but I just wasn't in the mood then (and I feel sorry but I couldn't help but kept away from the forums as I've planned, until today).
He asked me to send him a layered image file, like the ones I've used to work with, with the effects and textures, and some hints on how I've developed the effects.
I'm glad to say that I can do that perfectly, as I rely on very, very basic effects, most of them resulting from combinations of many different simple effects that pretty much anyone can handle. More than attaching a simple file with a few pointers, I'll provide you all with a proper guide on how I make textures, and a few basics about meshes as well.
I'm writing this because I really think that there are some people that like my work, and if I leave this guide, maybe there will be someone that can improve those techniques and provide the community with even better artwork. For this effect, I'll make a complete list, from the very first step, to where I couldn't help anymore.
Without further delay, I'll start explaining how I was producing the content right away. (damn, I can't add paragraph spacing I'll add a blank line to separate paragraphs)
The Steps
Step I: The 3D mesh
This is the first thing to do, as it is the base of the model. The textures are going to be applied into the surface of the 3d meshes, according to the texture maps. Basically, those meshes are composed by polygons, whose vertexes vary in coordinates (X,Y,Z). Those polygons are visible according to their normals (imagine those interrogation room windows), that is, usually you can see through them if looking "behind" the normal, and from the other side, there will be whatever graphics assigned to the polygon. This is "usually" true because there are 2-sided polygons, that act like truly opaque surfaces, with two normals.
To make a 3d mesh, you'll need attached polygons (with common vertexes or edges). Most Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software make those operations quite simple, and usually you'll start with a tool that creates a primitive object, such as a simple cube, and develop it by dividing and creating new vertexes, moving them around, rotating, extruding, duplicating, welding, etc. To learn those procedures, very basic tutorials on modeling will surely be enough.
After the creation of the mesh (or solid, in case you're working with AutoCAD), you need to export or save it into a .3ds file, or at least be sure that you can do this later without loosing the texture map. To continue your work, you'll need a software that supports UV mapping, I think that the best bet for free software is Blender, or, if you have access to a fancy tool like 3DSMax, great! You won't use any advanced tools, so most CAD software should be enough.
After you have your 3D mesh, we are ready to go into the next step!
Step II: Creating a texture map
In this step, we'll effectively make a map of the model, so that the computer knows which parts of an image file should be displayed in which faces of a 3D model. Imagine that you have a dice, and you must specify where you want each number to go: that's similar to what we are going to do, but our job is much more fun, because usually 3D models have way more than 6 faces!
The name of the tool varies a little, but is usually called UV mapping, or something with "mapping". If you are searching for a tutorial on this, and there are no matches for "mapping", try "texturing", and you'll certainly find what you're looking for.
Basically, during this mapping procedure, you'll decide from where you'll start unwrapping the model, and from which angles the polygons are going to be seen when putting them together on a 2D map. Don't be too fussy about this procedure, because it's the starting point for the map, and usually for models with many flat, sharp faces, like most in warzone, it's better to manipulate the map itself rather than configuring the mapping tool to make a suitable map.
My personal choice is to handle each polygon to achieve a coherent map. If you still want to have a suitable map by configuring the tool properly, please refer to a specific tutorial: I'll move to the next procedure, and that's the unwrapping part.
Right, now that the software knows where to start "cutting" the model, we are going to unwrap it so that it fits a 2D surface. This step is crucial for the quality of the textures, as it can promote or ruin any interaction effects between the faces, and that's why I'll speak about it on a separate step.
Step III: Organizing the texture map
Imagine that you'll have to create a jigsaw puzzle. However, you have the pieces and want to paint the picture on them. How will you do it, imagine how each edge would connect to each other and paint each piece separately, or organize them, so that you can paint the picture as if it was only a big rectangular screen? Crazy folks, gtfo, we are going to organize the pieces.
That's pretty much about what we are going to do, being the polygons, the pieces. We have good and bad news, first the bad news: You can't assemble the full "jigsaw" into a 2D surface, because the pieces are irregular, there's no way to connect all of them as they're supposed to be while on the model. Good news is, you can stretch the pieces, affectively making them connect to other ones they wouldn't be able to otherwise! However, we need to be careful because over-stretched parts will look… too much stretched.
This part requires the creativity of the artist. As we are going to apply the effects into a 2d surface, and the connection between the pieces is given by the way they are disposed on the map, we NEED to organize it according to the effects we want to apply. If two faces are meant to be adjacent and share an effect (like a pipe or window or whatever thing that crosses one face's edge and enters another one), you must make them adjacent, if you don't want unnecessary work and waste of time, and do want quality.
When organizing the map, select the faces you want to be connected, on the model view, and then take a look at how they are disposed in the map. Manipulate them with the tools at your disposal, break, weld, rotate, align, mirror, stretch, rescale… master the shortcuts if you ever want to do this without loosing too much time, or even loosing your line of thinking.
After you are happy with your map, and think that it is ready to be used to apply a texture into the mesh, you should export a template. This one will be an image file: It's preferable that you save it in .bmp, .png or .tga formats, with high quality (there's no need to have a high resolution. In most cases, you can use a 512x512 page for an entire model of the size of 1 tile and the result will be more than enough detailed), so that you can make accurate selections in the next steps. It's exactly like a real map: you don't want it to look blurry because you depend of it to know where things are. If your map is confusing of blurry, you won't be able to make a good texture because you won't be able to know which part of the texture page is going to be applied into with face.
It is highly recommendable that the person that is going to make the textures is the same person that's mapping the model. A good knowledge about the way the model was mapped is fundamental for creating a high-quality model with nice effects and that feel that it has more polygons, smoother and more detailed shapes than it really has. Especially because we are working with a RTS game, the secret of a good model is a good texture. Geometry can't be too complex, or the performance impact will be too high, and a laggy RTS is a true nightmare. Actually any laggy real-time game is a nightmare.
Having this in mind and thinking carefully about the effects you are planning to use while mapping the model, you are ready to go on to the next step towards a good model.
Step IV: Creating the texture page
Now this is the part where creative graphical work must be carefully done, with no hurry. Take a deep breath and go get a cup of coffee, because if you don't do a good work here, the model isn't going to achieve its full potential. Schematics help a lot for you not to forget which effects you want. Don't even think about making a non-layered texture page, because you WILL loose your time if you do so. In layered images, you can make shadows, relief, reflection, transparency and shapes in a way that the spectator will be surprised when looking at your model with and without textures. In the best results, people will even think that you are cheating, and made additional geometry.
For making this layered image, you can use the famous Photoshop, or other software that can work with .tif or .psd or whatever layered image file you want to work with. If you don't already know what a layered image file is, be sure to learn before going on, it is crucial. After opening the image creating and editing program, you should copy & paste, import, or do whatever is necessary for the texture map's template to be added as a single layer. Not the background, leave the background at a separate layer, as you can change its colors separately, to easily spot visible seams, this way.
Start with the most basic of features, and always keep your layers organized so that what is meant to be "below" is indeed below in the layer order. First of all, paint the texture with the color you want (at least most) your model to be. Remember that you can always apply effects in separate layers to change the color, so that you can change them later. By all means, don't avoid creating additional layers: it won't affect the final file size as it is going to be flattened when saved as .png files again. But keep the similar things close so that you can spot the group of effects, and then the single effect that you are looking for.
To apply those effects, my personal, amateur, method is to create a new layer with the shape I want the effect to be applied. In photoshop, I paint it all black and go into "blending options", under the layer list. Then, I set the blending method to "screen", and whoa, the layer is now invisible! This way I can use it as a mask to apply the effects, but also use coloring tools to change the visibility in certain areas (if you paint the layer with white, you'll notice that it is visible again, because a white screen effect makes the things lighter).
After that, there are no secrets other than using many simple effects. The ones I use most frequently are:
Bevel and Emboss
Inner Shadow
Outer Glow
Inner Glow
Gradient Overlay
Color Overlay
If you explore those effects properly, changing the settings to see what they are capable of, you know everything you need to create texture as good as, or even better than mine. Remember to use smooth effects and combine them frequently. The key to a high-quality texture is the cohesion of the effects, the interaction between the polygons. For some tips about making camouflage patterns and metal plates, please refer to the Tips section.
Also, remember to apply the texture into the model frequently to see how it looks like. A nice trick, to know the positions of your effects and view how they are going to be positioned in the model, is to draw red (or whatever contrasting color) shapes when applying the textures. The next step explains how to apply the texture into the model.
Step V: Applying the textures
Now we are going to use the map to tell the rendering software which texture it is going to use, and which parts goes where (you don't have to solve the jigsaw, you're going to see how it looks like when already solved).
For that, you're going to apply a material to the model. For that, open the materials dialog, and create a new one, of the simplest type, or just modify the "default" material, calling it whatever you want. After that's done, you must find where are the material's "maps" listed (should be easy to find). You need to change the diffuse map, which applies a texture, in color, tone and shape, directly into the model's surface. Change it to "bitmap", "image file" or whatever is the name of the map type that allows you to select a proper image file. Then, search for your texture (which you should save in .png, flattening it) and select it as the material's diffuse map. After that, you just need to apply it into the mesh and render it: if the model was mapped properly, the texture should be applied just like the map was organized. After that, you can close the render dialog, modify the file, and render it again: the software should reload the file automatically.
After all this, you can export your model to the .3ds format, so that you can export it to .pie via the "3ds2pie" exporter (search around the forums: there is a topic specifically about that). You should be asked either to preserve the texture coordinates or not, and of course you want! This way, the .3ds file will remember the map, so that you can assign the texture page to it in any other program, and the textures should be applied according to the map you've made.
The Tips
Tip I: Camouflage
I've developed a nice method for making camouflages, for using as a base for the other effects. It makes the model look less "empty", and promotes the military feel of the model, especially units. For creating them, just have the area painted with a single color of your choice, nothing special. Then, you must use the "texturizer" tool (it's called like that in Photoshop), or whatever tool that can create bricks relief.
When applying the bricks relief, set the light position to left or right, it doesn't matter, but the important thing is that only the small edges are visible in the effect, and a little roughness all over the area. This should be applied with a good intensity, and the scale should be set so that the width of the relief is somewhat like the width you want for your camouflage spots' outlines.
After applying the relief effect, apply the "sponge" effect, which will make your reliefs look like splattered spots of the same color but different tones. If this stage already pleases you, it's ok! However, if you want more "stripy" patterns, you should apply a "angled strokes" effect, then you can apply additional sharpness so make the spots more visible. I've attached a sample camouflage map that I've created using this technique.
Tip II: Metal Plates
A good way to create metal plates is (brace yourselves) paintbrush. Well, not for the final effect, but for creating the shapes for you to use in a proper tool, like Photoshop, in the same way I've mentioned in "Step IV: Creating the texture page", using Bevel & Emboss effects (specially with "chisel hard" setting).
When you're at paintbrush, select black as primary color (left click) and white as secondary (right click). Then, go to the "Line" tool and select the fourth thickness option. Then, select the "Rectangle" tool and then the option with border and filling. After that, have fun making rectangles with alternate left/right clicks, making interesting shapes.
After making those shapes (always remember that you can create perfect squares or vertical/horizontal lines by pressing the shift key while clicking), copy & paste everything to your original tool and separate the black/white parts into separate layers, then make both of them black, setting the blending mode to screen. After this, just configure the bevel & emboss effect until it looks good enough!
Tip III: Bumps & Scratches on Metal Paint
This is as far as I dare to explain about making models for Warzone 2100: Modifying resources, compiling, altering batch files, and this kind of stuff is just out of my knowledge (sort of, I don't feel confident enough to explain what little I know to anyone).
I really hope that this helps the artists to create good quality content for warzone, and even help those who already do so, to improve their work. I've attached a .tif texture page for anyone to take a look at how I organize my layers and how I set up my effects. Anyone is free to edit and use this walkthrough and its attachments in any way, it was made for you folks anyway!
If anyone wants to know how I create any other effects, please post the question here and I'll add the answer to the "Tips" section as soon as I manage to answer it. MaNGusT can provide you with the Mantis .3ds mesh so that you can apply the texture and see how It looks like.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite snacks was sunflower seeds. I'd crack open the shells with my teeth and maneuver them around in my mouth until I got the prized seed. I liked the salted kind the best, even though my tongue felt like it had swollen twice its size after eating too many!
I still prefer unshelled sunflower seeds because I like having to "work" for the tasty little seed. But, a few years ago, my dentist noticed a bit of damage on my front teeth from cracking open the shells. So, now I get the shelled seeds and sprinkle them on salads or mix them in yogurt.
I've always loved sunflowers, and obviously enjoyed eating the seeds, but I'd never planted them. So, you can imagine my surprise when three sunflowers appeared in my flower beds.
When they first sprouted, I thought they were weeds. But a friend told me they were sunflowers! She said a bird must have carried the seeds from my neighbor's sunflowers and dropped them in my garden beds.
I anxiously waited as they grew and grew. Then, the day finally came when they bloomed and their happy yellow faces tilted up towards God.
There's just something special about sunflowers. Maybe it's the way the really tall ones can become like flower trees with thick stalks and a huge flower. Maybe it's the way they tilt their faces heavenwards and follow the sun as it moves across the sky.
We can learn a lot from sunflowers. As we look up and fix our eyes on Jesus, following the Son throughout the day, we become Son followers. Then, like the sunflowers, we can drop our seeds of faith so they'll bloom into more Son followers.
Like my surprise sunflowers, who knows how far that seed of faith will be carried and then dropped at the perfect time and place in the fertile soil of someone's life.
Keep lookin' up and plantin' seeds!
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith…"
– Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)

Movie producer Jeffrey Katzenberg was presented with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences' coveted Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in Los Angeles on Saturday night (01Dec12).
The DreamWorks executive, best known for producing animated franchises like Shrek and Disney hits The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, picked up the prize at the annual Governors Awards dinner in Los Angeles.
Actors Tom Hanks and Will Smith stepped onstage to praise Katzenberg for his philanthropy, and joked about his persistence in asking for donations.
Smith quipped, "Jeffrey has no problem asking for way too much money."
Katzenberg, who has raised more than $230 million for charity as chairman of the Motion Picture and Television Fund foundation, told the crowd, "Mostly, all I did was pick up the phone and ask you. It's you who did it. You who gave of your time, your talent, your money, your hearts. Because that's what you do. That is what Hollywood does."
Other recipients of early Oscars at the star-studded ceremony included documentary director D.A. Pennebaker, stuntman Hal Needham and arts advocate George Stevens, Jr.

(Adds quotes and details)
By Matt Spetalnick
WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama reached out directly on Tuesday to key Republican senators negotiating a sweeping U.S. immigration overhaul and urged them to help craft a bipartisan reform bill as soon as possible.
Facing criticism for not getting personally involved in the delicate process on Capitol Hill, Obama made phone calls to three U.S. senators - Marco Rubio, John McCain and Lindsey Graham - part of a "Gang of Eight" group of Republicans and Democrats working on an immigration package.
Obama stepped in amid tensions with Republicans over the weekend leak of details of a backup immigration reform plan the White House is drafting in case the congressional effort stalls or breaks down.
The Democratic president told the three Republicans that he supports the Senate immigration initiative and "hopes that they can produce a bill as soon as possible that reflects shared core principles on reform," the White House said in a statement.
But repeating a warning that Obama has already issued in public, the White House also said "he is prepared to submit his own legislation if Congress fails to act."
Rubio, a rising Cuban-American star in his party and considered crucial to winning conservative backing for any reform deal, had dismissed the White House draft, which included an eight-year path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, as seriously flawed and "dead on arrival in Congress."
Rubio's office had denied assertions by the White House over the weekend that it had been engaged with them on the immigration issue, but administration officials insisted again on Tuesday that the sides had held a series of staff-level meetings.
Obama's calls on Tuesday, including one to Rubio while he was visiting Jerusalem, may help calm the waters for now.
"Senator Rubio appreciated receiving President Obama's phone call to discuss immigration reform," said Rubio spokesman Alex Conant. "The senator told the president that he feels good about the ongoing negotiations in the Senate, and is hopeful the final product is something that can pass the Senate with strong bipartisan support."
Obama emphasized in last week's State of the Union address the importance of creating a clear path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the United States illegally.
Many Republicans stress that there must first be measurable progress in securing the nation's borders, a condition that will be hard for the president to accept if it drags out the legalization process.
The White House, however, is counting on many Republicans feeling the pressure to move swiftly on immigration reform after they were chastened by Latino voters' rejection in the November election.
Obama, who met last week with top Democrats involved in the Senate effort, told the Republicans on Tuesday that "commonsense reform needs to include strengthening border security, creating an earned path to citizenship, holding employers accountable, and streamlining legal immigration," the White House said.
"He thanked the senators for their leadership, and made clear that he and his staff look forward to continuing to work together with their teams to achieve needed reform," the White House said. (Additional reporting by Roberta Rampton and Rachelle Younglai; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)

Hello Friends!
It's been awhile. I hope you don't mind that I took the summer off to spend time with the kiddos. To Studly's chagrin, projects are back in full force. I can't wait to show you my most recent endeavor...the upstairs bathroom. It's a tricky little spot because it doubles as both the kids bath and the guest/company bathroom. I've had a good time trying to make it fun and whimsical for the kiddos but also sophisticated enough for any visitors. And unlike our last bathroom reno, this one was all DIY...as in, I did almost all of work myself. It's not quite complete, but should be finished within the next week or two. I can't wait to show you the final product.
In the meantime, I was contacted by Zillow to host a post. If you aren't familiar with Zillow, it is an online real estate data base that provides information and tools for the average joe like you and me, to make smart and educated decisions about homes and real estate, etc. The've also got a fantastic link that provides oodles of ideas and inspiration for whatever home improvement project you are working on. It's definitely worth checking out.
If you are considering updating a room or doing a complete reno, this post has some valuable information on choosing the right color. What I liked most is that while most of the color suggestions are ver current and very in, they are also very classic and will stand the test of time. So, without further ado, I turn the time over to Jennifer Riner. Thanks Jennifer.
And, I'll see you back here soon with my bathroom reveal and some other good stuff!

5 Colors that Optimize Living Spaces
By Jennifer Riner of Zillow
Homeowners strive to optimize the size and layouts of the rooms in their homes to use their spaces at their fullest potential with the greatest possible luxury. However, some colors and styles ruin a space's design with overly ornate, bright or distracting finishes. Living space designs require extra caution, as homeowners must appeal to residents, guests and future homebuyers.
Remaining stylish yet neutral can be complicated. Rather than selecting safe, bland beige, consider the following five hues for chic living rooms.
1. Dark Gray
Source: Highlight Builders
Charcoal tones are trending in the design world because they warm interiors without appearing gaudy. Beige is the previously trendy warm neutral that's now considered "builder-grade" and dated, particularly due to its prominence in homes for sale throughout the United States. When painting with gray tones, purchase flat paint instead of semi- or high-gloss alternatives to avoid overly shiny and metallic walls. Further, consider cream-colored trim rather than stark molding for a softer contrast. Additionally, avoid overhead fixtures as they tend to cast shadows on walls creating darker spaces. Multi-level freestanding lights brighten up dark gray walls suitably.
2. Bright White
Source: Zillow
White seems like an easy go-to wall color, but selecting unique, elegant shades of white is tricky. Designers and homeowners have hundreds of white paint possibilities ranging from elegant to standard white. Some of the most popular preferences include Benjamin Moore's "Linen White," Sherwin-Williams' "Dover White" and Valspar's "Du Jour." Sticking to neutral color palettes is always beneficial, especially when residences aren't fully furnished quite yet. Further, white paint has widespread appeal and won't deter homebuyers in the future.
3. Deep Blue
Source: Paola McDonald
Navy blue is a strong hue that adds stateliness to interiors. It's best to let it stand on it's own or with a few other complementary shades, such as white or yellow. For a nautical vibe, incorporate navy and white as chief colors and showcase reclaimed wood furnishings and wall décor. If dark blue is too intimidating as wall paint, use it as an accent color for furnishings and keep the walls a neutral, light gray or white. More advanced designers might paint the ceiling a plain or patterned blue hue for enhanced visual interest.
4. Soft Yellow
Source: The Corcoran Group
Homeowners sometimes shy away from yellow in their living spaces, escaping the stereotypical overly bright, tacky and overwhelming designs. Soft yellows, though, are great for adding vibrancy and flair to any room – especially where socialization is key. Yellow is surprisingly versatile and can match existing color schemes easily, so complete redesigns aren't necessary. Complementary colors include blue, green, light brown and black, all used in moderation.
5. Accent Red

Most homeowners won't dare paint their entire homes red – and rightfully so, as red overwhelms small spaces and intimidates guests. Rather than omit altogether, use red in moderation. Paint built-in bookshelves a bright red hue to cover one wall of a living space. Or, sew a few throw pillow covers with fun red fabrics to display throughout the room. Red is bold and energizes interiors if applied in small amounts. Focus red on either one wall or a few accents to avoid completely overpowering interior design schemes.
Selecting suitable wall colors is never an easy process, but luckily mistakes can be remedied with primer and fresh coats of paint. Experiment wisely, as multiple layers can ultimately waste valuable time, money and energy.
